SAFETY GROUP CASH DIVIDEND DECLARED!
Your board of directors and our partners at Pennsylvania Lumbermens Mutual Insurance
Company are excited to announce that a 7.5% cash dividend has been declared for our 2017 Safety Group. Those members who were PLM policy holders during the January 1- December 31, 2017 safety group year will be receiving their dividends based on all lines of coverage with PLM except Umbrella coverage. Those companies that were not enrolled in the program for the entire year will receive a dividend that is pro-rated based on the number of months they were PLM policy holders and enrolled in the group. Checks will be mailed or delivered to members in the next couple weeks.
Our program has paid dividends in 7 of 10 years and has averaged a 4.15% cash dividend since its inception. This year PLM is returning $516,160 to WPMA members.
This was accomplished through your hard work to operate a safe facility, and PLM standing behind their guidelines to only insure quality companies.
For those companies enrolled in the 2018 year program, our current loss ratio through April 30, 2018 is 36%. We must finish the year at below 50% for the potential of a possible dividend. Let's all work together to make our group one of the best that the insurance company operates.
By working together, we can truly say that safety does pay.
